Rhinopias fish have incredibly snooty facial expressions. With their high-up eyes and curving snouts, they look like they should be smoking cigarettes at the end of loooong cigarette holders. Or maybe they're one of those passive aggressive waiters who roll their eyes at your choice of wine or your request for ketchup.

Most Rhinopias Scorpionfish come from the Pacific Ocean, with a few moving out to the Indian Ocean. The most widespread species, the Weedy Scorpionfish (R. frondosa), reaches 23 cm (9 in) long and has a huge range that extends from east Africa all the way over to Japan and Papua New Guinea.

Cea's Scorpionfish (R. cea), on the other hand, is found only in the isolation of Easter Island.

Rhinopias is part of the Scorpionfish family and like most other Scorpionfish, they're right, old lazybones. They don't rush around chasing after prey, instead they just sit and wait for fish and crustaceans to come within easy reach.

They can swim if they really have to but prefer to use their fins to walk slowly across the seabed. If they need to get somewhere in a hurry they would still rather hop than swim. But what they really like is to just sit there, waving slightly from side to side so they look just like a pile of algae.

It's so bad they don't even bathe! A fish that doesn't bathe? That doesn't make sense at all. Nevertheless, Rhinopias Scorpionfish get covered in so much algae and parasites that they regularly shed their skin! Some have been seen doing it every two weeks! This is serious devotion to indolence. Hardcore laziness.

Until something tasty swims by, of course. Then they jump in, mouth open, guts blazing and BOOM! One full belly and one less peon, It's the snooty's way.

Their poor victim didn't even see it coming; Rhinopias Scorpionfish are experts at camouflage. Some of them settle in coral reefs and blend into the background but others just relax on plain sand and look just like a sponge or a clump of algae all by themselves.

A lot of these Scorpionfish are incredibly gaudy and have such complicated skin patterns as to be almost painful to the eye...
